A three-time All-American and an 11-time conference champion, Amber Henry Schultz was one of the top track and field and cross country athletes in Weber State and Big Sky history. She was also a part of four teams that won Big Sky team championships.
A native of Mountain View, Wyoming, Henry competed with the Wildcats from 2010-14 and is being inducted into the Hall of Fame on her first year of eligibility. She was honored as one of the 25 Greatest Female Athletes in Big Sky Conference history and was a two-time Weber State Athletics Female Athlete of the Year.
Henry won the Big Sky title in cross country in 2011 and 2012 and is the only Wildcat women's athlete to win the Big Sky Cross Country title twice. She was a part of three Wildcat teams that won the Big Sky titles in cross country in 2011, 2012, and 2013. In addition, she competed with the Wildcats twice at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. She was the top WSU finisher at both NCAA meets and earned All-America honors in 2012 after finishing 32nd overall. She is one of just four athletes in Weber State history to earn All-America honors in cross country.
On the track, Henry won four Big Sky titles in outdoor track and field, including winning the steeplechase and the 1,500 meters twice each. She also won the title in the 5,000 meters. In 2012, she won the steeplechase title, and then won the 1,500 meters by diving across the finish line, fracturing her collarbone in the process.
At the 2013 Big Sky Championships in Portland, she was named the MVP of the meet after winning three Big Sky titles and setting stadium records in all three events, the 1,500 meters, steeplechase and 5,000 meters. She is one of three Wildcats in history to win three events at the same outdoor meet.
Henry earned All-America honors in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 2012 and 2013. At the 2012 meet, she fell during the event and dislocated her elbow, only to get back up, put the elbow back in place, and earn All-America honors.
She finished third overall at the 2013 NCAA Championships with a career-best time of 9:43.39. The third-place finish is the second-highest finish by any Wildcat in outdoor track and field history and she is the only track athlete to earn All-America honors twice in the same event.
In indoor track and field, she won the conference title in the mile twice as well as the 800 meters and 3,000 meters.
She finished her career holding three Weber State school records and ranked in the top 10 in several other events. She still holds the WSU school record in the indoor 3,000 meters at 9:13.81, set in 2012. She also set the indoor record in the indoor mile and the outdoor 1,500 meters and is now second all-time in both events.
Henry also excelled in the classroom as a student. She was an 11-time Big Sky Academic All-Conference performer. She twice earned Academic All-District honors and twice earned Academic All-American honors. She graduated from Weber State with a degree in Nursing in 2014. She was also named the Big Sky Scholar Athlete in 2014 and earned the Weber State Career Achievement Award following the completion of her Wildcat career.
